Hello,
today I tried to setup a QEMU boot environment for ReactOS.
I had a few problems to create the image and configuret the partition
on Windows.
However I could solve the problem using Linux, like this:
# create an empty 60 MB large disk image
dd if=/dev/zero of=/windows/c/reactos-emu/c.img count=121968
# initialize the MBR and partition using a DOS bot disk
qemu -fda dos5.img -hda c.img -boot a
# at the DOC command prompt:
> fdisk
# back in Linux
mformat c:
# boot ReactOS CDROM iso image in QEMU
qemu.exe -L . -hda c.img -cdrom reactos-0.3svn.iso -boot d
# Update the binaries from a fresh compiled ReactOS tree on Windows
binst.bat
Is there a better way, and is it possible without using Linux?
I also had to notice, my MTools on Windows are quite out of date.
(from 27.1.2001)
After a few boot cycles they have problems to read the image, and report:
Cannot initialize 'C:'
The Linux version works quite well on the same disk image.
Do you know of a newer WIN32 version of MTools - where can I download them?
I think this download link should also be put into the Wiki:
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_ReactOS#Using_MTools
Thanks,
Martin
Hi,
if I try to enter the forum, I get the following error message:
phpBB : *Critical Error*

It's way too easy to make a mistake in the "Code
Validator". More that have of the time, I make a
mistake, and then, and guess what? I lose that
username, and the email, and then I have to register
again with another username and an email address!

Hello,
The web teams has requested that we purchase a software package to handle our forum discussion on
the website. The purchase cost is $160
http://www.vbulletin.com/
We have about $90 in paypal donated for misc needs and this seems like a good buy if we really
need it. After our hack of the website this may be a good thing. I would like to have a vote up or
down about the purchase. If the majority of the project supports this then once we reach the
required amount we will purchase.
Please reply to me in private, the foundation or general lists only. Do not follow this thread on
ros-dev.
Thanks
Steven

Thursday afternoon (UTC) the website will be unavailable for some time.
We're going to make the switch to the new website design then. At the same
time, we're moving to www.reactos.org as the primary name for the website,
with www.reactos.com being an alias (you'll be redirected automatically to
www.reactos.org if you use the old name).
The mailing lists are also going to be moved from reactos.com to
reactos.org, so if you have filtering in place please take this into
account.
Many thanks to Michael Wirth and especially Klemens Friedl who put a lot of
effort in the new site.
Gé van Geldorp.
I highly agree with this move.
I used to administer some vbulletin forums, and I can't speak highly enough
about them.
Viewing pleasure, secure and feature packed. Great tool+++
Ged.

Hi,
I have trouble with ReactOS networking. Here is what I've tried so far:
First, I have made most of the tests under qemu 0.7.2 running on
Windows 2000 (I have the same results on Linux and Windows XP... using
same version of qemu).
I use the option "-user-net".
In ReactOS, I configured my network as follow:
Gateway: 10.0.2.2
IP Address: 10.0.2.15
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
I did also give a value to the nameserver, but it doesn't matter for
the problem I have.
- I can ping 10.0.2.2 from ReactOS (I assume this tells me the
userland tcp/ip stack of qemu works properly, as well as ReactOS
settings).
On the host, I have a webserver (IIS) and an FTP server running, as
well as SSH.
>From ReactOS:
- If I type "telnet 10.0.2.2 80 " and then enter some HTTP request
(GET / HTTP/1.0), I will only get an amount (1 to many) of blank
lines. In other words: no content.
- If I type "ftp 10.0.2.2 ", the ftp client seems to send a username
by itself ("6-w" !?). So my FTP tests stop here.
- If I type "telnet 10.0.2.2 22", I will get the SSH version message,
and when I type something, I get a "protocol mismatch" error, which
looks normal.
- If I type "wget 10.0.2.2", it seems to connect (the webserver gets
the query), but then it will say it received empty data and will loop
doing this forever.
- I also tried lynx. Lynx gave me the most interesting results. I was
able to connect to the server, ask me for a cookie, receive some
headers and finally, since my password wasn't good, it gave me the IIS
permission denied page. HOWEVER, there were a lot of error messages
during the process.
Here is the one that appeared the most often: "Alert!: Unexpected
read error"
There were also a lot of "Alert!: Invalid header "....""
What I seem to understand is that some data is lost from the packets.
Something like final characters. I never had this kind of trouble with
other OS running under qemu, so I guess the problem is in ReactOS
TCP/IP stack. But I also seem to be the only one to have this kind of
problem.
Any idea where I should look first?
I'm pretty new to ReactOS and windows programming, but I'll do what I
can to provide more detail or... fix this.
Thanks.

Hi. It is a noob question, so please be patient.
Ive read you've made a fatx driver and you are using it for the
development on the xbox.
Now, i'd like to know if this fatx driver can be used to access an
unlocked fatx HD connected to a i386 machine that is booting the reactOS
live CD.
Am i dreaming? Or can this be done?
I just want to know if i could recover my multimedia files from the F
partition using my PC some day.
Those are great news indeed. I've googled and didn't found much info
about how to make it.
Before i dive in a winxp services pool, can you recommend me any place
with info about it?
Thanks in advance.

Yes it can be. Our vfatfs.sys has been tested in Windows before so it
should work if you wanted to
do it now. Installing our driver on Windows would be a bit of a pain
because you would need to
manually add the service and tell Windows to use it to mount that drive
but I know some people
have tested the driver before under Win2k.
Thanks
Steven
